This very good oak coffer, crafted during the mid-17th century, boasts a desirable small size that makes it both practical and charming. The triple-panelled front, framed by elegant moulding, showcases the skilled craftsmanship of the era. While predominantly made from sturdy oak, this coffer also incorporates other fine words, including English walnut, elm inlay, and cherrywood split bobbin turnings.
Noteworthy features include its original hinges and a convenient candle box, which adds to its historical authenticity. The piece has aged gracefully, acquiring a beautiful and richly patinated wax finish that enhances its timeless appeal. A true testament to the artistry of the period, this Charles I oak coffer is a treasure for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
